Y has loved puzzles since we started with large, wooden, chunky ones when he was a baby. Now that he is almost 5, he's a pro at putting together complicated ones. I really struggle though to find nice puzzles for him, as well as all of that storage. Lately, we have been loving these amazing [...]

I love studying plants and life cycles during this time of year! We have a small garden with lots of strawberries, currants, blackberries, and well, pretty much every berry ever. And not so small.

Today, I am sharing a really fun way to explore insect activities for preschoolers. Y has been loving working on our garden - although [...]

Y and I have been enjoying our weather theme very much! I know we started it quite a while ago. I've been slowly working through this unit in combination with a few other types of works. Really, I like this pace as this weather unit is pretty intense for Y. There is so much new [...]
